Jotun has introduced a new high-end floor coating—Jotafloor Rapid Dry WB—specially formulated to be user friendly and have low environmental impact.Jotafloor Rapid Dry WB is the first floor coating based on nanotechnology, according to the company. This involves the development of materials with particles at a molecular scale. The new high-end waterborne, semi-gloss floor coatingis now widely available across the Middle East,

Ideal for areas with high foot traffic areas as well as light duty floors, Jotafloor Rapid Dry WB is a fast-drying, 100 percent pure nano acrylic floor coating. It offers excellent durability, UV protection and aesthetic properties and is more abrasion resistant than the normal acrylic products, the company said.

It produces low emissions and does not have a strong odor as harmful solvents have been replaced with natural water. Jotafloor Rapid Dry WB also features anti-bacterial properties that prevent fungus and bacteria build-up on surfaces.

Jotafloor Rapid Dry WB is Jotun's first floor coating based on pure nanotechnology.Easy to clean with water and non-reactive to day-to-day detergents, Jotafloor Rapid Dry WB can be used for floors requiring a fast-drying, easy-to-apply, light duty floor coating such as within exhibition halls and other venues for indoor events. Available in a palette of more than 1,000 colors, the coating is guaranteed not to lose its color and shine even when exposed to sunlight, and can handle mild spillages and light pedestrian traffic within factories, warehouses and garage showrooms.
